Madera County Workforce Debuts Custom Mobile Outreach Van Built by Field Van

Madera County Workforce Debuts Custom Mobile Outreach Van Built by Field Van

Access to workforce resources shouldn’t depend on transportation availability — and now, thanks to a new custom Mobile Outreach Unit created in partnership with Madera County Workforce, vital career and community services can travel directly to the people who need them most.

Recently unveiled during an official ribbon cutting ceremony, this custom outreach van was designed and built by the team at Field Van with one mission in mind: creating a fully functional mobile workspace capable of serving communities throughout California’s Central Valley.

Built on a Mercedes-Benz 170 Sprinter chassis, this custom Range build combines functionality, comfort, and off-grid capability to support workforce development programs, job placement assistance, career counseling, and community outreach services on the go.

A Custom Mobile Office Designed for Community Outreach

Every detail inside this custom outreach van was intentionally designed to maximize usability for both staff members and community visitors.

Inside the van, Three 36-inch-wide workstations are positioned on either side of the interior, creating a productive and collaborative workspace for workforce representatives and visitors alike. In the front cabin area, smart swivel seats paired with a Lagun table mount create an additional flexible workstation, allowing the team to easily adapt the space throughout the day.

The galley area is fully equipped with laptops and portable seating, giving community members a comfortable and accessible space to apply for jobs, connect with workforce programs, complete paperwork, or receive one-on-one assistance directly inside the van.

Toward the rear of the vehicle, the build features a tall storage cabinet, built-in counter space, Microwave,refrigerator, and an integrated sink with a water tank conveniently installed beneath the cabinetry — providing both functionality and storage for day-to-day outreach operations.

Off-Grid Power for Reliable Mobile Operations

Because this Mobile Outreach Unit is designed to travel throughout the Central Valley, reliable off-grid power was essential.

The van is equipped with a high-performance lithium battery system discreetly installed beneath the cabinetry. This system powers multiple onboard amenities including:

  • Motion-activated lighting
  • Refrigerator
  • Microwave
  • Attic fan
  • Air Conditioner
  • Workspace electronics
  • Additional onboard utilities

To support extended off-grid use, the van also features four ZAMP 90W solar panels mounted on the roof, allowing the system to continuously recharge while traveling or parked at outreach events.

Built to Handle the Central Valley Heat

One of the most important considerations for this build was ensuring comfort during California’s extreme summer temperatures.

To help keep both staff and visitors cool, the van is equipped with a Velit 12V Air Conditioning system capable of operating efficiently even during the intense Central Valley heat. This allows the Mobile Outreach Unit to comfortably serve the community year-round while maintaining a professional and welcoming environment.

The Future of Mobile Workforce Development

This custom Mobile Outreach Unit represents more than just a van — it represents accessibility, innovation, and opportunity.

By bringing workforce resources directly into underserved communities, Madera County Workforce is helping remove transportation barriers while expanding access to career services, employment assistance, and educational opportunities throughout the region.

At Field Van, we’re proud to help organizations transform ideas into purpose-built mobile solutions that create real impact.
